He then challenges Nora to prove how much her father has daughter, by splitting himself into two and launch dual chases through the city.
#THE FLASH SEASON 5 HOW TO#
“I am the only speedster who knows how to manipulate the timeline to get what I want,” he gloats, hinting that he also has taken measures to ensure he goes free. Thawne takes a moment to boast of how he manipulated everyone - Barry included, when during his and Nora’s visit to the time vault of the past, Nora blurted out Cicada’s name, giving Thawne information he will need in the future. But just as he goes to “suit up,” time rewinds, and Barry and Nora arrive to stop him. Back at STAR Labs, Adult Grace has busted her way out of the Thawne Trap 2.0 and flies to the cabin to zap everyone and is about to slay Nora when the Mirror Gun tumbles through a breach just in time for Barry to destroy the dagger.Īs Adult Grace “dusts” away, the dagger vanishes from Thawne’s harness in the future, freeing him to power up and kill the team of guards that swarmed him. So yes, they must destroy the dagger after all. And yet it doesn’t kick in, because the of dagger shard lodged in her head. When Nora points out that a “dark part of you is out there killing innocents,” Young Grace agrees to wake up and take the cure. Evil Orlin is there urging Grace to not listen, but Good Orlin shows up to back up Nora’s argument. Nora goes inside the cabin and enters Young Grace’s mind, delivering the hard truth that the little girl is a meta. But just as they approach the cabin, Cicada II swoops down onto the scene: “Now I can end your lives twice today.! But Joe bellows, “Not on my watch!” as he lobs a porta-portal in the air, sucking Cicada II into the Thawne Trap 2.0 at STAR Labs. Nora has an idea to make Young Grace wake up and make the right choice to take the cure, and stop Cicada II’s birth that way. Cisco then tracks the Swiss ash shard to the parkland where Cicada almost killed him. And yep, it works, except for some “language skill” issues. Puzzling with Caitlin and Cisco over Ralph’s wonky state, Sherloque suggests blasting him to wake him up, and thus activate his muscle memory. So, stop Cicada or stop Thawne? Barry votes for the former.

Grace, meanwhile, is back at the cabin, where her uncle counsels her to repair the time sphere and use it to disseminate the bad cure the night of the particle accelerator explosion, this “destroying the metas before they destroy the world.”Īs we see the 2049 prison guard “gift” Thawne with something from the Flash Museum - a chain with a Flash ring on it, oops! - back in the present, Sherloque explains that if they destroy the dagger now, Thawne will pull off a “reverse time hack” and get free.

Back at STAR Labs, Sherloque solves the mystery of Ralph’s intervention - that the dagger is the only thing keeping Reverse-Flash in his future prison. A shard of wood left behind by Cicada II offers Team Flash a chance to track her. Ralph succeeded in preventing the dagger’s destruction (though Cicada II grabbed it and flew away), but he himself was worse for the wear, his cells “inverted” and leaving him in a, well, weird shape. to save from disappearing in the future… I never imagined it would turn out like this” - we picked up with Ralph leaping in front of the mirror gun blast that Barry was firing at the dagger. Many fans of The Flash began suggesting that Gustin appears to be "too thin" in the image, and as a result, began not only body-shaming Gustin for being naturally thin, but also criticizing his portrayal of Barry Allen, believing that he lacks the proper physique to portray the DC Comics character.Following a cold open narrated by Nora - “I always wanted to be a hero….
